Sorry i couldn't make it, looked like fun!

Who organized it and will there be another one in the near future?

It was fun :)
ClearThing organised it with Joshua Li.
Yes, there will most likely be another competition again, most likely quite soon. ALSO, Tim said that he will probably organise a 10-30 contestant OFFICIAL WCA competition in Queensland (Brisbane).
Which is very good news for our scene.

Who was the MC?
Someone from clear thinking?
I'm assuming she isn't a cuber due to a reasonably.... low knowledge of the terminology

Just popping into this thread to ask if anyone in/around Brisbane is still doing meet ups (casual or otherwise)? I've been looking for groups everywhere but there doesn't seem to be any that are active. :(

Hi Tazi,
The only thing that I can recommend for this area (Brisbane are) is to join this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/316715901774024/
Other than that, good luck to you :)

Hey guys, meeting up during the holidays and doing unofficial competitions sounds great! If there are still enough active Brisbane cubers, maybe we could organise something?
I hope we can figure something out, Cos i am DYING to go to a competition!!

(By the Way, I average 14 sec for 3x3, 3.5-4 sec for 2x2, and 6 sec for Pyraminx)

Hey all you Brisbaners, why don't some of you ask your teachers at school to see if you could organise a room for a competition one weekend? I think you'll find the right teachers are very cooperative with the idea. If you can get a room and some tables and chairs together, me and Tim will do the rest, and we can make it official. That's all we need from you.

Hey Dene. If we do find a venue, what dates would be suitable for the comp?

We're pretty full up for earlier in the year, so perhaps look more at May/June/July. April might be doable if someone else (Ray or Tim) is able to delegate, as the football might keep me busy at that time.

The other thing, if we're going to look at having more comps there, is to find someone who might be suitable as a delegate...

If you want to take things to the next step, e-mail Tim and myself (include Ray if you have his e-mail address) and we'll see what comes of it.

I don't have facebook, so I'll get my parents to like the facebook page :D

Also, for organising an official competition in the future, the church that I go to could be an option for another comp, it's a fair amount of space with plenty of chairs/tables. Pretty much every saturday would be okay to use, but I'll have to check the date just in case if we DO decide to use the venue :)

Hey Brisbane cubers,
I heard from the facebook page that there will be a meetup at garden city this saturday, and as I have only just heard about these meetups, it will be my first one.

Also, can anyone tell me what time you guys are meeting up at? and if there is anything else I should know? I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks

Hey

Nothing is final yet. However once we have decided on a suitable time, I will post it here as well.
